Recently it has been suggested that some doctors may refuse to treat patients who will not give up smoking or try to lose weight.
Have they got a point? If we have a "human right" to medical care, we surely have also a "human duty" to do our best to keep our own bodies in good order.
Except for very small children, who have all the rights and none of the duties, we surely have to each play our part in trying to make society work.
This blog is a plea for common sense in public policy. Our leaders don't seem to have any. They just make daft rules for us to follow. We need to assert our right to use our own good sense instead of ticking boxes which can only say 'yes' or 'no'.
